Avalon Park Arts & Culture Center Relocating to Permanent Home

Historic Space for Local Artists, Schools and Exhibitions to be Featured Coming this December.

The Avalon Park Arts and Culture Center “ACC” announced today that it will be relocating to a new permanent location this fall.

The new site is located at 13013 Founder’s Square Drive, which is one of the first buildings constructed in Downtown Avalon Park. The new space adds character and history, while giving it a more visible space in Downtown Avalon. With the new layout, artists will continue to be able to show off their work in a more visible way to the community. Over 40 local artists and schools will continue to be represented with all levels and mediums.

“The community has embraced the ACC with open arms and I’m excited for the opportunities the new location will present,” said Stephanie Lerret, SVP of Marketing and Community Relations for Avalon Park Group. “We activate our mission to change the way the world lives, learns, works and plays by building places and programming like the ACC, where all members of the community can feel a sense of belonging.”

Since the grand opening of the ACC last April, there have been three themed exhibits, featuring over 40 artists and four local schools. The performing arts also came on board with performances from the Orlando Opera, Orlando Philharmonic, and the Avalon School of Music. Additionally, activities like the sewing club and paint and sip events were also introduced.

ACC will open its first exhibit, which will be a holiday-theme, in the new space during the communities’ annual holiday event, Avalon Aglow, on December 3rd, 3:00 – 9:00 pm. Thereafter, regular operating hours will continue to be Fridays 5:00 – 9:00 pm, Saturdays and Sundays Noon – 5:00 pm and for special events.

The Avalon Park Arts and Culture Center allows schools, rotating artists, and organizations to showcase their diverse works from all mediums. ACC is a non-profit organization that relies on volunteers and donations for their operations.
